Amazon customers no longer need to save their receipts or boxes if they need to return an item. Starting Monday, Amazon purchases can now be returned at all Kohl's locations nationwide. According to Kohl's, no receipt or box is needed in order to return items. Instead of a receipt, customers can now have a QR Code emailed to their account. A Kohl's representative will then scan the QR Code off of a cellphone and process the return. The program began as a pilot at 100 locations nationwide. The return program now encompasses 1,100 Kohl's locations nationwide. “The nationwide rollout of the Amazon Returns program is our single biggest initiative of the year,” said Michelle Gass, Kohl’s chief executive officer. “Our top strategic priority is driving traffic, and this transformational program does just that. It drives customers into our stores, and we are expecting millions to benefit from this service.” 924

A volcanic island in New Zealand erupted Monday in a tower of ash and steam while dozens of tourists were exploring the moon-like surface, killing five people and leaving many more missing.Police said the site was still too dangerous hours later for rescuers to search for the missing.Police Deputy Commissioner John Tims said the number of missing was in the double digits but he couldn’t confirm an exact number. He said there were fewer than 50 people on the island when it erupted and 23 had been taken off, including the five dead.Tims said experts had told them the island remained unstable but search and rescue teams wanted to get back as quickly as they could. He said there had been no contact with any of those who were missing.He said both New Zealanders and overseas tourists were among those who were dead, missing or injured. He said most of the 18 who survived were injured and some had suffered severe burns.Some of those involved were tourists from the Royal Caribbean International cruise ship Ovation of the Seas.“A number of our guests were touring the island today,” the company said. “We will offer all possible assistance to our guests and local authorities. Please keep all those affected in your prayers.”The cruise ship, which had left from Sydney last week, was scheduled to sail to the capital Wellington on Monday night but the company said it would instead remain in the Tauranga port overnight until it learned more on the situation.“My god,” wrote Michael Schade on Twitter as he posted video of the eruption. “My family and I had gotten off it 20 minutes before, were waiting at our boat about to leave when we saw it. Boat ride home tending to people our boat rescued was indescribable.”His video showed a wall of ash and steam around the island and a helicopter badly damaged and covered in ash. He said one woman was badly injured but seemed “strong” by the end.White Island sits about 50 kilometers (30 miles) offshore from mainland New Zealand. Already people are questioning why tourists were still able to visit the island after scientists recently noted an uptick in volcanic activity.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern traveled to the region late Monday. She said the incident was “very significant.”“All our thoughts are with those affected,” she said.Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he’d offered Ardern his support.“Australians have been caught up in this terrible event and we are working to determine their wellbeing,” Morrison wrote on Twitter.Brad Scott, a volcanologist with research group GNS Science, said the eruption sent a plume of steam and ash about 12,000 feet (3,660 meters) into the air. He said it had also affected the whole of the White Island crater floor.The GeoNet agency, which monitors volcanoes and earthquakes in New Zealand, raised the alert level on White Island from one to two on Nov. 18, noting an increase in the amount of sulfur dioxide gas, which originates from magma deep in the volcano. It also said at the time that over the previous weeks, the volcanic tremor had increased from weak to moderate strength.Scott said the alert level was often raised and then later dropped again without any eruption. He said there hadn’t been any major incidents with tourists visiting the island in the past, although there had been some close calls.Scott said it was not for him to say whether the island was safe enough to host tourists immediately before Monday’s eruption.Ardern said the focus remained on the search and rescue mission for now and questions about whether tourists should be visiting would be addressed later.GeoNet at first raised its alert level to four, on a scale where five represents a major eruption. It later dropped the alert level back down to three. Scott said that was because the eruption wasn’t sustained beyond the initial blast.“In the scheme of things, for volcanic eruptions, it is not large,” said Ken Gledhill from GeoNet. “But if you were close to that, it is not good.”White Island is northeast of the town of Tauranga on North Island, one of New Zealand’s two main islands. Experts say it’s New Zealand’s most active cone volcano and about 70% of the volcano lies under the sea.Twelve people were killed on the island in 1914 when it was being mined for sulfur. Part of a crater wall collapsed and a landslide destroyed the miners’ village and the mine itself.The remains of buildings from another mining enterprise in the 1920s are now a tourist attraction, according to GeoNet. The island became a private scenic reserve in 1953, and daily tours allow more than 10,000 people to visit the volcano every year.The island is also known by the indigenous Maori name Whakaari. 4704

Amid signs that the global economy is slowing, American hiring nonetheless remains strong.In September, American employers added 136,000 jobs. The unemployment rate fell to 3.5%, which is the lowest rate since December 1969.Although the pace of hiring has slowed considerably since last year, this most recent report from the Labor Department showed some encouraging signs: Both July and August's jobs reports were revised higher by tens of thousands of jobs. Hispanic unemployment fell to 3.9%, setting a record low, while black unemployment remained at a record-low 5.5% Minority unemployment has been tracked by the Labor Department since the early 1970's.The nation's underemployment rate, which looks at people who are unemployed as well as those who are working part time but would prefer full time work, fell to 6.9%. That's the lowest reading for that measure since December 2000.The number of discouraged workers also fell was down to by more than 100,000 in September. That group includes people who are not in the labor force because they had stopped looking for work.The unemployment rate for adults with less than a high school education fell to 4.8%, the first time that measure has ever been below 5% on data dating back to 1992.The economy benefited from 1,000 new positions from the US Census.However, the massive GM strike, in which about 50,000 people joined picket lines, was not counted in this month's report.Also, wage growth stagnated. Paychecks grew by just 2.9% over the past year, which was lower than expected. 1550

ALBANY, N.Y. -- In New York’s capital region, just 20 minutes north of the state capital building, is Tech Valley Office Interiors and Rod Dion who has owned the small business for 15 years.“It’s been quite a ride,” said Dion. “We opened up, we were very successful our first three years, then the great recession hit and we had four or five years we prefer not to look back at and ever since then, it has been a happily steady rise again.” Like many small businesses in America, Tech Valley has enjoyed growth in this economy. However, with the upside has come a downside of a tight labor market.“Before, I would just put an ad up and I would have 50 resumes and have a person within a day or two,” Dion explained. “Now, I can go 30 days and I will get two or three resumes and they are not even qualified for the position.”Tech Valley is a part of the 88 percent of small businesses across the country that report struggling to hire qualified workers in a labor market where there are more available jobs than people looking for work. The Department of Labor and Statistics estimates there are 6.4 million jobs available but only 5.89 million people seeking work. Employees have an advantage and are forcing all employers to get competitive to actually hire good talent.Tech Valley is in that position currently, trying to hire at least two full-time positions. “We are paying a lot more than we did in the past,” said Dion. “We are probably paying about ,000 more in starting salary more, per employee, than we were 10 years ago.”Like most small businesses, Tech Valley cannot afford more significant salary increases. However, it still has to compete for new talent in this labor market and compete to keep its current staff, so it’s begun helping employees pay off their college debt. Student loan repayment is a benefit few employers offer. It can be costly, but ultimately less expensive than what it would cost the company to lose an employee or not be able to grow its staff.“The only way a business like mine is going to grow is to grow my staff, so if I can’t grow my staff, we are not going to grow as a whole,” said Dion.Stunted growth in any business could eventually lead to less profits, which would be an even bigger problem.“It is very difficult right now there is more of a strain going on than many people realize, but in many ways there have been positives out of it,” Dion explained. “Salaries have gone up and businesses understand what they have to do to respond to their needs.” 2518

A secretive startup backed by Bill Gates has achieved a solar breakthrough aimed at saving the planet.Heliogen, a clean energy company that emerged from stealth mode on Tuesday, said it has discovered a way to use artificial intelligence and a field of mirrors to reflect so much sunlight that it generates extreme heat above 1,000 degrees Celsius.Essentially, Heliogen created a solar oven — one capable of reaching temperatures that are roughly a quarter of what you'd find on the surface of the sun.The breakthrough means that, for the first time, concentrated solar energy can be used to create the extreme heat required to make cement, steel, glass and other industrial processes. In other words, carbon-free sunlight can replace fossil fuels in a heavy carbon-emitting corner of the economy that has been untouched by the clean energy revolution."We are rolling out technology that can beat the price of fossil fuels and also not make the CO2 emissions," Bill Gross, Heliogen's founder and CEO, told CNN Business. "And that's really the holy grail."Heliogen, which is also backed by billionaire Los Angels Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong, believes the patented technology will be able to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions from industry. Cement, for example, accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions, 1328
